Kodaly s Dances of Galanta was an ebullient launchpad for Auckland Philharmonia Orchestra s Enduring Spirit concert, a joyous medley of Hungarian folk tunes to welcome returning music director Giordano Bellincampi.
One sensed the maestro s utter elation as his musicians artfully navigated all the zigzagging shifts of mood and lit up Kodaly s dazzling orchestration, with particularly ear-wooing clarinet from Jonathan Cohen.

The festival, presented by the Hill family, was announced last July to replace this year’s 11th edition of the Michael Hill International Violin Competition.
It’s run every two years since 2001, with Queenstown hosting the first two rounds before the finals in Auckland.
